Hawthorne Heights
Favorite
Get Ringtone
The post-hardcore/emo-pop quintet
Hawthorne Heights
came to life in the summer of 2001. Originally called A Day in the Life, the Dayton, Ohio-based collective saw numerous lineup changes and shifting music styles before settling on a permanent formation. Composed of drummer
Eron Bucciarelli
, bassist
Matt Ridenour
, vocalist/guitar player
J.T. Woodruff
, and guitarists
Casey Calvert
and
Micah Carli
,
Hawthorne Heights
built their fan base on a solid demo recording and a series of self-booked national tours that saw them sharing the
stage with the likes of
From Autumn to Ashes
and
the Descendents
. In 2003, they signed with Chicago label Victory Records, resulting in the 2004 release of their powerful full-length debut,
The Silence in Black and White
. As the bandmates relentlessly toured behind it, the album became Victory's highest-selling debut, while its lead single,
"Ohio Is for Lovers,"
slowly invaded rock radio, MTV, and teenage hearts across the country.
Hawthorne Heights
' follow-up effort,
If Only You Were Lonely
arrived in 2006 alongside the This Is Who We Are DVD. Leading up to the album's release, Victory urged street team members to help it chart above urban singer
Ne-Yo
, whose own album was slated to be released the same day. Questionable promotional tactics included rearranging store displays to hide
Ne-Yo
's record and make
Hawthorne Heights
' more prominent.
Lonely
debuted at number three on the charts, though, unsurprisingly, more than a few eyebrows were raised in the band and label's direction. Regardless, the album continued to sell well, as its first single,
"Saying Sorry,"
garnered airplay on many a modern rock radio station.
However, controversy came to a head in early August when
Hawthorne Heights
suddenly announced that they were leaving Victory Records (despite a contractual obligation of two more albums for the label) and suing the company over various issues, including unpaid royalties and tarnishing their name and relationship with fans over the aforementioned incident (the band claimed to have no knowledge of the street team letter that was issued as though personally from them). In a statement issued online, the band compared their time at the label to being in an "abusive relationship" and directly attacked "greed driven" label head Tony Brummel. As issues were sorted out behind the scenes (and Victory counter-sued the band, claiming they just wanted to jump to a major),
Hawthorne Heights
continued touring nationwide and served as headliners on the fall 2006 version of the popular Nintendo Fusion Tour with openers
Relient K
,
the Sleeping
, and more.
Following several court dates with their label,
Hawthorne Heights
returned to the road in late 2007. However, guitarist
Casey Calvert
died in his sleep just several hours into the tour, the victim of a lethal combination of antidepressant medications and Vicodin (
Calvert
had reportedly undergone a root canal prior to the band's departure, hence his need for painkillers). Soldiering on as a quartet, the bandmates resolved their issues with Victory Records and issued a third album,
Fragile Future
, in August 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

If you have read this sentence, you
must
continue reading it
if
not
terrible and scary things would happen to you or
your family
members.
I'm
sure you don't want you or your family members
to have scary
and
freaky
things happening on you right? Not kidding..
Here's what
happened:
3
years ago, 2005, on a lonely winter night filled
with lots
of
snow
in
Chichago, a teen girl was brutally murdered,
yes, after
being
raped.She
had received a text message from her boyfriend
to meet him
at
the
pub
they always meet at hours before her death. She
went there,
nicely
dressed up. Upon reaching, her drunken boyfriend
stumbled
out of
the
pub
and began to vigoursly kissed her on her face
and lips. She
struggled
and
when finally broke free, started to run. But
then, the boy
caught
up
with
her and pinned her to the ground. He raped her
and then
suffocate
her.
She lies on the cold floor motionless. The boy
ran away and
then
came
back much later with a chopper wrapped in
newspaper and
dragged
the
girl's body to an alley. He unwrapped the
newspaper off the
chopper
and
chopped the girl's body parts, her hands, legs,
and lastly
head..
Since
then, whenever people passed the place where the
girl was
being
raped
and
suffocated, they swore they heard a girl panting
and
whispering
in
their
ears 'You are walking on the place where I was
killed...'
and
then
they
would heard a shrill laughter.. You must pass
this on to
your
friends
or
family members, because the girl, Amanda is right beside you
now,
knowing if you sent it or not... No kidding... send this
or Amanda
would
do
things you would get freaked out.. Here's what
happened to
others
who
didn't forward it to their friends: # CASE 1Jack
Lyons
received
this
email from his friend, upon reading it, he
laughed and
deleted
it.
He
didn't know that Amanda was beside him..the next
day, he
received
a
phone
call. 'Im always watching you, Jack' and then a
shrill
laughter.
He
freaked out and called the phone operator, and
to his
horror,
found
out
that that number was not in use for 2 years
after the death
of
the
owner,
Amanda Spears. then, jack went to have a bath..
He opened
the
door
and
went in, never coming out again.. After 1 hour,
his mother
banged
on
the
door and used a chopper to open the door. She
screamed when
she
saw
jack
on the floor. Blood splattered on the walls and
mirror. On
the
mirror
was
a message 'Your son deserved it' And many many
cases.. Im
sure
you
don't
want to read them all... Be careful, Amanda is
beside you
right
now,
MAKE
THE RIGHT DECISION...Send this to more than 20
people.Good
Luck
2nd:Storie
